Have to agree, it sounds pretty classic for a partial obstruction. I
think calling the vet this morning is the best thing you can do.
Especially as we are going into shedding season and the blockage has
the potential to get a lot worse, a lot faster as he grooms the loose
hair from himself. Once the obstruction becomes total, there is a
very small window of time in which to act. Keep us posted, and I'm
delighted to hear the FHL gave you a direction to pursue with Panda.
He is obviously a much loved little boy!
